The fall books season just got a little more crowded. Bob Woodward's 17th book, "The Price of Politics,'' will be published on Sept. 11, his publisher said on Tuesday, in the splashy, embargoed style that has been a trademark of a Woodward release.The book is "an intimate, documented examination of how President Obama and the highest profile Republican and Democratic leaders in the United States Congress attempted to restore the American economy and improve the federal government's fiscal condition over three and one half years," the publisher, Simon & Schuster, said in a statement.

An excerpt of the book will run in The Washington Post, where Mr. Woodward is an associate editor. Mr. Woodward is expected to grant interviews to Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos of ABC News.

This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.
